Why is it that when your team loses that people you haven't seen since the dawn of time appear in your local?

Question

There I am last night thinking, pi5h day at work, after dinner pop into the local for a bevoirge.

Now the place isn't busy, but 95% of those were all Rangers fans who appear only at Christmas, New Year, and their birthday (hoping for a pint to be bought for them. One guy is so tight the lump of coal diamond joke is very appropriate).

So my quiet pint was subjected to ridicule by these individuals.

In fact so bad was it, that the regulars who are Rangers fans were surprised themselves. It wasn't aggressive or such, but come on, one fricking result and they were breeding like blowfly.

Have you experienced this in your local when your team gets whupa55ed that all the "auld yins" re-appear like Debbie McGee?

Answer 6

I rarely go to my local Charlie, but i could liken it to having a wee beer in the hoose and receiving endless text messages from the dundee fans in my address book who you don't see or hear from one year to the next.  

having said that, with the poorfucks languishing in the first division it's not been a problem for me for a long time.

Answer 7

Answer 12

Isn't the mirror of your question "When your team wins a game do you go down to the pub and celebrate with your mates?"

and the answer to that is 'duh'.

Right?

Answer 13

I have had random folk grinning at me for the last 2 mornings Charlie..amazing how many people know you are a Celtic supporter!!

the guy who runs the local shop is a die hard Rangers man and he hasn't spoken to me yet..probably scared I will tear his head off lol..I must look like a bitter Celt!
